Currently, to begin a brief, you must click a button which takes you to a full form.

To be more inviting and obvious, let's:

Put a medium-sized response field and a big "GO" button. Clicking fo will take the user to the full form. Reponse field will prepopulate a "quick summary" field on the full challenge brief.


Reproducible: Always

Clarification: looks like this never made it into the 'Zilla.

It would be great if this were embeddable in other sites. In particular, the Mojo homepage, but also Knight sites, other news innovation sites.

The idea is that you'd get an invitation to start your response right away. You'd:

1. Visit any site with the field embedded
2. Fill out a "title field" and "quick summary" field
3. Click —> "Let's go" or etc
4. User is redirected to drumbeat.org and prompted to log-in
5. After log-in, user is redirected to challenge form with those fields pre-populated
